Thinking about doing a few DC characters next, ideally more obscure/overlooked. Any suggestions?

That's awesome! For DC, I would always suggest Zod but you could go with someone underused like

Red Tornado

Animal Man

Ultra-Humanite

Ambush Bug

man that GR is sick dude!!!

Got a code for $80 off Raiden Inferno 1/6 figure from Sideshow today but not gonna use it.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Jesus. If I wasn't up to my eyeballs in crap I need to pay for, I'd jump at that.

 

[franpincho]

So did I, and I think he looks great. Does he have the same articulation problems the vanilla version has?

I'm sort of tempted.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I think they're identical, so you may get a broken arm.

 

[franpincho]

Like, out of the box?

 

[Snake Plissken]

Not too sure how that works, but if I had to guess yes. I do believe there was a few instances of that, so much so that WellCQC made a tutorial how to fix it.

 

[franpincho]

Oh, crap. I'll just pass.

I still hope they'll offer a $150+ code for that HT Optimus Prime.

What the **** were they thinking with that price?

 

[GeneralZodLives]

If it's the exact same as the other one then the broken arm is a big worry.

I considered getting Optimus, but **** that price.

I don't think it's worth the gamble or hassle. Also I've had two since I got one replaced and they all seem to have tiny little dark marks on the face. They look like little pebbles. I've seen them on the eBay listings and on posts on here.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I just couldn't believe it when I saw $80 off. I'd forgotten that it was $300 though, which is an absolutely ridiculous price considering you have to worry about it arriving with defects. Wish they'd throw me a coupon for $80 for something I wanted.

 

[Snake Plissken]

If I wasn't so strapped right now, I'd take the risk on it... but it's not even an iconic look of Raiden. If it was the White version, that's different.

yeah it was a cool as hell figure... i sold mine for $275.... running out of room to the extreme and need to start focusing on crap i buy... but $275 seems the going price and honestly is what it should cost. with the electronics, and whether you love them or hate them, all the starscream parts it has are detailed and lots of them which is justified in upping the price. with the bare bones figures running $240-250 now... it seems a fair price at $275 w/ going rates.

If I wasn't so strapped right now, I'd take the risk on it... but it's not even an iconic look of Raiden. If it was the White version, that's different.

i got the code too via text... not using it so if anyone wants it, feel free to use: RAIDEN80TEXT

 

[Snake Plissken]

After over a year over waiting, I finally got this behemoth. I swear it weight like 2lbs.

If you're not familiar...

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Dang, that thing is big.

 

[Snake Plissken]

It's almost 16'. I need to stick it next to a Predator and compare. I think those are 14'.

 

[Pro Design]

Dam dude that's a badazz RE setup!!

 

[Snake Plissken]

Thanks man! I'm pretty proud of it. My first Hot Toys figures ever were the two Weskers.

 

[Pro Design]

I'd love to have all those guys too. I just don't have any room for it all and I know that I would have to have everything like you do to feel satisfied! LOL

But that nemesis really completes the whole look!
